2024 BMW Z4 review

1. Turbocharged power 

Both 2024 BMW Z4 models come with a turbocharged engine, providing the responsive power required to offer you a thrilling ride. For daily drives around town, the sDrive30i base trim is plenty powerful enough, and it’s motivated by a 2.0L turbo inline four-cylinder engine that's good for 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. If driving is your passion, then the sport-tuned M40i Z4 ramps it up a notch, thanks to the 382-hp, turbocharged 3.0L six-cylinder engine, upgraded brakes, and sport differential for firmer traction. 

2. Trip ready 

With your favorite companion along for the ride on inspiring coastal drives and city-bound date nights, the 2024 Z4 will become part of your most memorable moments. The fabric convertible roof folds back at the touch of a button and makes a minimal impact on your trunk space, leaving you a surprisingly spacious 9.9 cu-ft for weekend bags and boutique purchases. Once you’re on the open road, the 2024 Z4 also provides navigation as standard. 

3. Premium package 

Choose a 2024 Z4 sDrive30i base trim with the Premium package and you’ll gain great technology features that boost passenger comfort and driver enjoyment. With heated seats and ambient interior lighting, your cool weather top-down drives become very cozy. High-tech practicality is not forgotten, as this package also adds adaptive LED headlights that swivel and align with your steering wheel turns. 

4. Passenger-pleasing tech 

Beyond its obvious curb appeal, the 2024 Z4 is a fine companion for daily driving. Whether commuting with a colleague or running errands with a family member, the Z4's reinforced soft top minimizes road noise, enhances cabin acoustics, and smoothly transitions up or down in around 10 seconds at speeds up to 30 mph. The 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen allows for easy control of the 10-speaker audio system, while wireless Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ integration provide convenient access to your smartphone’s apps and curated playlists. 

5. Subtle upscale styling 

Nothing turns heads quite like a drop-top roadster. The 2024 Z4 is no exception thanks to its iconic exterior styling and clean, premium cabin aesthetic. The striking shark-nosed front profile with mesh-filled kidney grille is unashamedly dramatic, as are the available 2024 colorways, including the purple-hued Thundernight metallic and San Francisco metallic red. Inside, SensaTec leatherette or real leather upholstery in shades of black, ivory, red, or cognac brown set a contemporary and alluring tone.
